Wolters named player of the week

ELMHURST, Ill. - For the
second week in a row, The Summit League named South Dakota State point guard
Nate Wolters its player of the week.

Wolters
collected his 10th career award, giving him the second-highest total on record,
after averaging 20.2 points, 7.0 assists and 6.2 rebounds per game during the
week. He recorded a pair of double-doubles at the 2K Sports Classic benefitting
Wounded Warrior Project.

"I
thought Nate had another outstanding weekend, and continues to give us what we
need," head coach Scott Nagy said. "He's an incredibly unselfish player, and as
our other players get more comfortable with their new roles, he wont have to
carry so much of the load offensively and he'll begin to see his assists totals
rise even higher."

A
senior from St. Cloud, Minn., Wolters started the week with a 22-point, nine
assist night in a home-opening win over Tennessee State on Tuesday. He then opened
the 2K Sports Classic with 25 points and a career-high 10 rebounds against
Hofstra on Friday. The following day
against Marshall, he scored 22 points and dished out 10 assists. Wolters also
averaged two steals per game during the week and compiled a 3.5 assist/turnover
ratio.

In addition to earning the weekly honor from The Summit League, CollegeSportsMadness.com named Wolters its player of the week as well.
